Players: Teslan, Fae’ael, Gloom, Raoul, and Belrith
Our destination was the Earth Genasi Fort south of the Moldy Shrine on the Eastern Continent. We passed through the portal to the Moldy Shrine and headed out. As is tradition, we immediately got lost. We stumbled across a group of lost farmers, directing them back to the Moldy Shrine, and giving them instructions to reach Sophia’s Rest. We made camp for the night and our rest was interrupted by a group of small earth elementals. Gloom woke the entire party with a fireball that destroyed several of the creations. We easily overcame them, Belrith strangely began collecting little bits and pieces of the creatures we destroyed, after finishing our rest we carried along our way. We came across a shrine with a statue of a woman with a spear and an open book. Belrith, Fae’ael and Raoul diced off for who would rededicate the shrine and Raoul won the contest, dedicating it to the Raven Queen. As we approached the fort, Belrith sat down with me to conduct a divination ritual to ascertain whether we might succeed in taking the fort. Spinning several coins, Luck delivered good omens. Searching for the bridge we got lost again, and came across a bandit patrol, eliminating them, the group decided to keep moving south in search of the fort rather than heading back to the shrine to rest. Belrith took over leading us through the forest with ease. As we neared the fort, Fae’ael cast a spell that allowed her to speak with the plants around the fort, asking what creatures had passed through the area in the past day.
Finding the fort; with the assistance of another spell from Fae’ael we snuck up to the entrance, Gloom led our attack with a Fireball, taking down three of the bandits inside, Raoul and Fae’ael took down another few with arrow fire. I charged, hasted by Fae’ael, taking down one bandit and a wolf as we charged in.We fought our way through the fort, coming to a final room with what I can only assume was the leader of these bandits, they held the door against us, until Belrith ran in inflicting a grievous wound on the leader, killing him. We finished off the last of the bandits and explored the rest of the fort finding a potion of greater healing, two potions of advantage, 2,328 gold and the leader’s platemail, though it makes the wearer vulnerable to lightning. Finding the leader’s journalbook, we learned there were more Genasi bandits beyond the mountains to the west of the fort. The fort cleared, the loot collected, we headed back for the Moldy Shrine, the portal and finally back to Sophia’s Rest.
